A cohomology theory for "odd polygon" relations -- algebraic imitations of Pachner moves in dimensions 3, 5, ... -- is constructed. Manifold invariants based on polygon relations and nontrivial polygon cocycles are proposed. Example…
In GT/0006019 oriented quantum algebras were motivated and introduced in a natural categorical setting. Invariants of knots and links can be computed from oriented quantum algebras, and this includes the Reshetikhin-Turaev theory for Ribbon…
This is a short review of the results on the associativity algebras and WDVV equations found recently for the Seiberg-Witten solutions of N=2 4d SUSY gauge theories. The presentation is mostly based on the integrable treatment of these…
This paper is devoted to the study of algebraic structures leading to link homology theories. The originally used structures of Frobenius algebra and/or TQFT are modified in two directions. First, we refine 2-dimensional cobordisms by…
This paper is about algebro-geometrical structures on a moduli space $\CM$ of anomaly-free BV QFTs with finite number of inequivalent observables or in a finite superselection sector. We show that $\CM$ has the structure of F-manifold -- a…
We give a reformulation of the Dubrovin conjecture about the semisimplicity of quantum cohomology in terms of the so-called second structure connection of quantum cohomology. The key ingredient in our work is the notion of a twisted…
We generalize the braid algebra to the case of loops with intersections. We introduce the Reidemeister moves for 4 and 6-valent vertices to have a theory of rigid vertex equivalence. By considering representations of the extended braid…
In this article formulas for the quantum product of a rational surface are given, and used to give an algebro-geometric proof of the associativity of the quantum product for strict Del Pezzo surfaces, those for which $-K$ is very ample. An…
We present a review of the results on the associativity algebras and WDVV equations associated with the Seiberg-Witten solutions of N=2 SUSY gauge theories. It is mostly based on the integrable treatment of these solutions. We consider…
We introduce an equivariant version of Hochschild cohomology as the deformation cohomology to study equivariant deformations of associative algebras equipped with finite group actions.
In the present paper, we construct the Khovanov homology theory for virtual links. Besides the direct approach with Z_{2} coefficients we also describe the Khovanov homology for framed links and the Khovanov homology using ``double cover''.…
We give a differential geometric construction of a connection in the bundle of quantum Hilbert spaces arising from half-form corrected geometric quantization of a prequantizable, symplectic manifold, endowed with a rigid, family of K\"ahler…
We discuss the origin of the associativity (WDVV) equations in the context of quasiclassical or Whitham hierarchies. The associativity equations are shown to be encoded in the dispersionless limit of the Hirota equations for KP and Toda…
The quantum cohomology of Grassmannians exhibits two symmetries related to the quantum product, namely a \Bbb {Z}/n action and an involution related to complex conjugation. We construct a new ring by dividing out these symmetries in an…
Quantum uncertainty relations are typically analyzed for a pair of incompatible observables, however, the concept per se naturally extends to situations of more than two observables. In this work, we obtain tripartite quantum…
Relative self-linking and linking "numbers" for pairs of knots in oriented 3-manifolds are defined in terms of intersection invariants of immersed surfaces in 4-manifolds. The resulting concordance invariants generalize the usual…
The model of the position-dependent noncommutativety in quantum mechanics is proposed. We start with a given commutation relations between the operators of coordinates [x^{i},x^{j}]=\omega^{ij}(x), and construct the complete algebra of…
Hexagon relations are combinatorial or algebraic realizations of four-dimensional Pachner moves. We introduce some simple set-theoretic hexagon relations and then `quantize' them using what we call `polynomial hexagon cohomologies'. Based…
This work is devoted to an intrinsic cohomology theory of Koszul-Vinberg algebras and their modules. Our results may be regarded as improvements of the attempt by Albert Nijenhuis in [NA]. The relationships between the cohomology theory…
Noncommutative quantum mechanics can be considered as a first step in the construction of quantum field theory on noncommutative spaces of generic form, when the commutator between coordinates is a function of these coordinates. In this…
